CRC Industries has introduced Siloo Anti-Freeze Booster, a cooling system treatment made specifically for heavy trucks. It recharges the additives in worn-out anti-freeze so you don’t have to spend time and money flushing and replacing gallons of anti-freeze, says the company. It works with conventional or extended-life coolants to protect, clean, and fight rust and corrosion. A special anti-foam agent prevents cavitation and pitting, which can erode the cylinder lining, says CRC.

Cole Hersee Company has introduced its new 13-pole plug and socket that provide six extra contacts within the standard configuration of a tractor-trailer connection.

The pole plug conforms to the requirement of interchangeability between 13 and seven-pole sockets and adapts to a variety of wiring combinations. A glass-filled, plastic construction prevents rust and corrosion, and an “O” ring prevents moisture from reaching the contacts.
